My Best Friend
My oldest and most
dearest friend
Was there when I was
small
He stayed with me thru
thick and thin
And stayed sweet thru
it all
Now he is older, as
am I
To him time's not been
kind
His eyes have dulled
but hold their charm
And warmth I still
can find
His soft brown hair
is worn in spots
But still so nice to
touch
His little ears that
heard my tears
And laughs still do
as much
His button nose is
chipped a bit
His bow is tattered
still
But I love my old teddy
bear
I know I always will
